Accelerated Teradata to Azure SQL Data Warehouse
Migration using Hexaware’s Amaze® for
Data & AI platform
About the Client
Our client is a leading gymnasium chain in the United States focused on improving consumers’ health and helping people lead healthy and
better lives.

Business Challenge
The current on-premises Data Warehouse (DW) and analytics ecosystem that used to derive insights was leveraging Teradata DW appliance.
They were generating multiple streams of big data through their business applications like member management system, scheduling and
registration apps, café sales, CRM, Point-of-Sales (PoS), membership rewards, etc.

The main challenges faced by the client were:
   Maxed out capacity of the current Teradata DW. Operating at over 90%, it became a daunting task to scale and manage large data volumes
   Exorbitant Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of Teradata DW appliance was creating a big hole in their pockets
   Lack of near real-time data ingestion capabilities
   Weak security of sensitive customer health data

They wanted to embrace cost benefits, security and increased agility by migrating their legacy on-premises data estate to cloud.

The Solution
With this complex challenge of migrating their aging and costly data estate to cloud, they wanted a technology partner that could provide
expert guidance in selecting the right cloud stack and perform this challenging migration at the least cost and with minimal downtime.
Hexaware came up with an automated, smart and cost-effective approach of Teradata migration by leveraging their amaze® for Data & AI
platform. With a completely automated assessment and cloud cost estimation by amaze®, Microsoft Azure was identified as the most suitable
cloud platform to meet their requirements.
Case Study Cloudify Everything - Hexaware
Using amaze®, the complex assessment and deep discovery of Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) landscape was completed within 2
weeks and a target state architecture was conceptualized on Azure. To perform data ingestion in near real-time, Azure Data Factory (ADF) was
selected to replace the current, slow batch processing on-premises ETL platform, Informatica and Azure SQL Data Warehouse was selected as
the new EDW.
